First outing for while apart for essentials.
There will another part of Hollybank then I will return to last years holiday in winter.
Tasmania's first restriction lifted so:
Last Monday Tasmanian's were permitted from then on to visit National Parks and Reserves within 30 km from their homes for exercise purposes until further notice.
We fortunately have a few Reserves around within that mileage so we ventured to Hollybank, just 25km from home. It's a walking area with lots of walking tracks, plus there is a cricket pitch of some sort, not very good, and lots of tables and seats for a picnic.
I exercised my right to take photos, I thought that was good exercise.
There are many tall trees of various kinds and of course being the end of Autumn the few autumn tree colours were just about gone.
Not a lot of colour there at Hollybank but certainly different coloured greens.
I've shown photos of Hollybank before probably last year, it always looks different.
The above tree is a wattle tree with new growth.
A bit of fungi
The loos.
The barbecue area and some wood to light a fire in the fireplace provided.
Muy bellas escenas de naturaleza, amiga
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBeautiful woodland, love it.
ReplyDeleteBack to nature.
DeleteWhat a lovely park. It is upbeat for me to hear of restrictions being lifted.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely park close to the city.
DeleteSlowly lifting restrictions and today more have been lifted for a few things.
Here in England, but not all parts of the UK, some restrictions are easing.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your photographs.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan.
DeleteWell that's good restrictions, some, are being lifted as long as precautions as kept. Be a very long time before there is a normal as we know it.
Must be wonderful to go for a hike in that place.Love the nature :)
ReplyDeleteIt was Anita, but well worth the wait.
DeleteMust be a great place to explore.
ReplyDeleteYes Bill, it is.
DeleteEvery step out of lockdown is a pleasing moment as long as we all continue to be careful. We have also been given the opportunity to drive further into the countryside too, but so far we have not done so.
ReplyDeleteHollybank Nature Reserve looks a lovely place to take your first outing.
To be careful for all of us Rosemary as you say.
DeleteIt's wonderful to walk in the Reserve for the first time after not being able to.
Beautiful place surrounded by nature.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved the first photo.
Take care
I liked the first photo too, it was different with new growth as it meant a new beginning I guess to me.
DeleteIt must have felt wonderful to get out in the forest after so long! Lucky you have a choice of places to walk now. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt did feel wonderful to be walking about Hollybank Reserve.
DeleteThere is another Reserve not very far from home we must go and walk around, drove through there yesterday but it was late and a bit cold.
It looks like a totally delightful place to be able to stretch your walking legs and camera finger in - definitely exercise.
ReplyDeleteOh I enjoyed the camera finger :) it's been awhile since the shutter has moved on my camera and phone too for that matter. The photos were taken with my camera didn't bother with the phone.
DeleteEs maravilloso caminar por la Naturaleza y captar esas bellas imágenes, para el recuerdo.
ReplyDeleteBesos
It was and something we had been waiting for as many of other in this world.
DeleteThe conifers looks very grand and stately.
ReplyDeleteThey do, standing tall.
DeleteOh so beautiful
ReplyDeleteIt is Jo-Anne.
DeleteThe tree trunks are incredibly straight.
ReplyDeleteThey are, grew straight up to the light.
DeleteSe ve muy bonito para caminar. Besos.
ReplyDeleteIt is Teresa a nice place to walk or hike on the tracks which are provided.
DeleteSilence, forest, nature, space, what we probably need the most. It's nice to spend a few moments in such a charming place.
ReplyDeletegreetings
It certainly is.
DeleteNothing like peace and quiet amid the trees.
what a serene gorgeous park near your home dear Margaret :)
ReplyDeletecongratulations for reopening the parks at least
exercising in open airy environment is best
i am glad you were able to embrace nature for while
Thanks Baili. It is a good place for a walk and to take in nature.
DeleteI love this! So different than ours once you get past the surface similarities.
ReplyDeleteOh good, glad you love it. Maybe I should have more photos of Tasmania and expect I will in the future as there will be no travelling for a while within Australia only my home State when we are permitted later on.
DeleteA nosaltres també ens agrada anar de barbacoa. Llocs com aquest estan molt buscats.
ReplyDeleteUna abraçada i bon reportatge, Margaret.
We have a few places around like the one I have mentioned here and it's good to be able to go now Jordi.
DeleteTive sempre e tenho um fascínio especial pela Austrália, por isso é um gosto conhecer e visitar o seu blog.
ReplyDeleteSaudações poéticas.

We have travelled far and wide within Australia over the years and find it rather pleasing.
